Abstract
All massive galaxies host a supermassive black hole at their centers. Some of these supermassive black holes go through growth spurts and feeding frenzies that can greatly impact their host galaxies, possibly even terminating all nearby star formation. In this talk, I will explore a new class of quasars, cold quasars, which are some of the most luminous accreting black holes in the universe, and yet, surprisingly, their host galaxies have star formation rates of 1000 $M_\odot$/yr, casting doubt on whether black hole feedback impacts star formation at all. I will discuss how cold quasars are an anomaly in the current understanding of quasar formation.
